David halshugger Goliat 1510 - 1530

This drawing depicts the biblical story of David and Goliath, a classic scene from the Old Testament. Executed in the early 16th century by Italian artist Ugo da Carpi, the artwork is a dynamic and detailed portrayal of the battle, capturing the dramatic moment of Goliath's defeat. Da Carpi skillfully utilizes shading and linework to depict the figures and their gestures, creating a sense of motion and tension within the scene. "David halshugger Goliat" is a poignant example of the artistic interest in religious narratives during the Renaissance period. The work is currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
